🚨 FSD Supervised is coming to Europe in 2025 and the end of the Autopilot “nag” might be worldwide! 🚨

As we look ahead to Tesla’s FSD Supervised launch in Q1 2025 for Europe and China, I wanted to dive into how these developments tie into the ongoing work of the @UNECE GRVA and what this means for Tesla drivers.

You might remember my earlier posts about the GRVA’s workshops on autonomous driving systems, like the test drives of FSD v12 in Troy, Michigan and the hands-on feedback from experts like the Swedish Transport Administration. There’s been a lot of movement on the DCAS (Driver-Control Assistance Systems) front lately, and it’s all pointing toward one thing: we are getting closer to a world wide release of FSD (Supervised)🙌

The Path to FSD (Supervised) wide release: Key Updates

With Tesla’s announcement that FSD Supervised will be rolling out in Q1 2025 for Europe, the latest regulatory updates couldn’t be more timely. The WP.29/GRVA is making rapid progress, particularly with the DCAS legislation (UN Reg. No. 171) that is laying the groundwork for FSD Supervised in Europe.

The GRVA's System-Initiated Manoeuvres (SILC) guidelines are a big deal. These updates will allow FSD (Supervised) to make autonomous lane changes, merging, and other manoeuvres without needing prior driver confirmation. It’s a massive step forward for hands-off driving on European roads.

Even bigger is the conversation around HOR (Hands-On Request). One of the most exciting developments is the proposed amendments to withhold HOR on highways—essentially, getting rid of that annoying “nag” telling you to keep your hands on the wheel. This could mean no more HOR, at least on highways, unless the system detects a boundary. 🚫✋

#FSD in Europe: What to Expect in 2025

So, how does all this regulation work connect to Tesla’s upcoming release? Well, the DCAS framework that’s being finalized will directly influence @Tesla's FSD Supervised in Europe. Tesla will need to comply with the new UNECE requirements, including guidelines around system transparency (clearly showing what actions the car will take) and driver intervention capability.

For us, this means we’ll see a system that’s not only technically compliant but also incredibly advanced. In fact, FSD Supervised is expected to launch with no more mandatory driver confirmation for lane changes and other actions—a major win for Tesla’s autonomy goals. The HOR may still apply in some situations, but Tesla’s advanced Eye-on-Request monitoring might eventually eliminate it altogether, just like we’re hoping for in the U.S.

The Future: What’s Next for FSD?

I’ve been following this regulatory journey for a while now, and one thing’s clear: the UNECE and Tesla are working faster and more efficiently than ever before. Just like I mentioned in my latest regulation post, we’re seeing regulators not only keep up with the rapid pace of innovation but even helping to speed it up.

The upcoming GRVA sessions in September will finalize some of these critical changes, and it’s only a matter of time before we’re driving with FSD Supervised—and yes, potentially without the nag altogether! The way things are moving, 2027 might be the year we see FSD Unsupervised hit European roads. Imagine that—full autonomy, no driver required. 🚘🤖

As we get closer to these milestones, I’ll keep you posted on all the latest developments. For now, get ready for an exciting 2025. FSD is coming, and it’s coming fast! ✌️

In December 2022, Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation took a monumental step into the digital age by launching #Starlink. We are proud to announce that every home in our community is now connected to Starlink, the world’s fastest satellite internet constellation available to the public.

Nestled in the Qu’Appelle Valley, with 80% of homes at its base, our unique topography presented challenges; yet, with Starlink, we've bridged the gap effectively, offering a powerful alternative to fiber optics.

Chief Melissa Tavita encapsulated the essence of this initiative, saying, “By connecting our entire community with Starlink, we will be providing our children greater access to resource sharing tools and higher learning. Muscowpetung is the only Indigenous community in Saskatchewan where every residence is connected to such a transformative medium at such high speed.”

And it's not just our homes - our administration buildings, including the School, Health Centre, and Band Office, are all integrated. This connectivity ushers Muscowpetung into expanded economic opportunities and promises an enhanced quality of life for all members. #DigitalLeap #ConnectedCommunity

A massive thank you goes out to #SpaceX, particularly @BiancaReinhart and the SpaceX Communications Team, for their unwavering support and collaboration.

Additionally, our gratitude extends to Anaquod Videography for their exceptional work in creating and procuring the impactful video content that showcases this milestone. Together, we are shaping a brighter, more connected future.

Once autonomous driving is solved, we'll likely see a gradual and long-term transformation of urban and suburban areas.

In urban areas, high-demand parking spots/lots may no longer command a premium as autonomous cars can drop you off and park themselves in cheaper spots.

As a result, autonomous cars allows for a chance to improve the design of urban centers by converting previous parking infrastructure to green areas, parks, walking corridors, and/or residential zones.

Further, autonomous cars will eventually impact urban traffic flow as fewer people will bee circling the block looking for parking, meaning less congestion (possibly).

Autonomous cars will make it easier for people who live farther from their workplaces by allowing easier, cheaper, and more convenient transportation to and from work.

Reduced traffic congestion could mean fewer emissions and improved air quality. On top of that practically all (if not vast majority) of autonomous vehicles will be electric, which will mean vastly lower emissions.

More people will likely opt out of owning a car and not have to deal with parking, insurance, maintenance, etc., especially when autonomous taxis become cheaper than what it would cost to own a car.

Businesses might not need to provide parking to customers, which could allow for the growth of more compact and pedestrian-friendly shopping areas.

Autonomous cars will enable mobility for the elderly, disabled, and those w/o vehicles in a way that can be comparable to owning/driving one own's vehicle. This could lead to higher quality of life and independence for certain groups.

Autonomous cars could encourage more tourism as people can easily travel around new places, cities, countries.

People will have more time for personal development or entertainment/etc because the time spent driving in traffic can be spend relaxing, learning, or whatever the person wishes to do.

Autonomous driving will save a lot of lives as many accidents are due to human error or impaired driving.

Cost of insurance will likely decrease a lot due to fewer accidents.

The freight industry will become much more efficient with autonomous trucks operating around the clock. In other words, shipping of goods will become a lot cheaper.

Home delivery will be much faster and much cheaper.

All forms of transport will go autonomous - cars, trucks, vans, buses, boats, etc.

Anyway, autonomous driving will spark a lot of changes and these are a just a few.

What else will change once autonomous driving is solved?
